SPIRIT OP Tilt PUBLIC JOURNALS. It is very singular, that though the mischief of country banks has been universally felt and acknowledged, i* im parting insecurity to the .circulating medium of the country, and raising the price of the necessaries of life, yet men will occupy themselves in futile endeavours to improve this radiCally vicious tystetn, rather than rn play their wits, if they hate any, or at least their time, in helping the country to dispinise with it altogether, and assimilate the prices through public frugality and retrenchment to a circulating medium of moderate ,magnitude. A letter from a Mr. Harming, of,liillington-house, in Somersetahire, to Lord Liverpool, we see, has been noticed in some of the journals; and we must therefore, we suppose, follow the example of our confreres; though otherwise, we confess, we see nothing either in the plan itself, or the probability of its adoption, that should put us on the alert. The object of the writer, as stated by himself, is " to make country bank paper equally secure with that of the Bank of -Eng land, and for keeping in giteulition the requisite supply of coin and paper money to support trade." So that rivalry with the Bank of England is courted in the first instance: and a vast circulation, under the term " requisite supply," is the object at which the writer aims. His project is thus detailed. That provincial banks, containing a numerous body of partners (330 for example, for the county of Somerset), should be established throughout England, and the following is the distribution of his scheme of the county just cited. That there should be 10 persona £20,000. each £200,000 20 ditto, 50 ditto 5,000 ditto . , .... 250,000 100 ditto 2,000 ditt0,.,...... 200,000 150 ditto l,OOO ditto 150,000 $9O 1,000,000 Now, for our own parts, we should hardly have con ceived it possible to organize so detestable a system of provincial tyranny, so readily as this writer seems to have clone; and so far we give him credit, if he understands his own plan. Three hundred and thirty monied _despots of _all_ sizes, commodiously distributed over a county, would make their paper pass no doubt. In a work on animal biography it is stated, that a little dog, having been beaten by one of greater strength,*immediately ran home yelping, and fetched the house dog out of his oWn yard, whom he set to worry his enemy, In like manner' ' according to this system, if a little sharer in the Bank of 1,000/. found a re fractory,eerson in his village, who refused ,to accept or pass the joint-stock notes, he would set on a larger sharer of ten or twenty thousand pounds, to worry the said per verse and refractory person. No, no, Mr. Henning, of Dillington-house, Somerset ; if you understood Greek, - we should be disposed to quote to you a line out of Homer, which says, " Don't let us have many` tyrants ; if tyrants we must have, let there be' only one. We have abstained from making many observations upon the late disclosures brought about through the com mission of inquiry into the management of the public Boards, because the case of one of these Boards, namely, the Stamp-office, has appeared to us to be still sub fiance, The dismiesels which have been announced as already ef fected among the Commissioners of 'that notorious Office, Were matiifestly such as could not be dispensed With, if the public business was to go on et all. They were in the nature of mere precautions for the future; for the past they offered no sort of redress or indemnification. It is perfectly impostible that the subject matter and results of the inquiry alluded to, as they are incorporated in the re port* of the Commission, should not be laid before Par runt now sasembled, and become the ground of some stronger and .more exemplary measure than any that has yet been adopted by the King's Ministers. Nothing need be suid at present of the detailed abuses of their trust, and gross derelictions, of their duty, by members of the late Board of Stamps, with which every page of the report upon the conduct of these persons ie absolutely saturated seer we read it. The indecent bickerings between some of them--the c O n tinned and barefaced absence of others—the general neglect of whatker belonged to their statiOim— except the salary alone, which eitevemilied ,for and p m !, Itched ai a thing of course, with edifying punctuality—all these things may be considered as under the general: head • of a system of delinquency, okody,4practiSed and shettlefidly tolerated for a series of years by the higher class of public 'functionaries at the head of that Doartt, which 'assumes (and exercises when it finds convenient) the power of con mulling all the lesser departments of finance. It cannot be imagined that the Lords of the Treasury, fur instance, were in actual ignorance of the manger iie . rhich business had been carried on at the Stamp-dice, 141.4 enough before the commission of inquiry was appointed, or even thonbt Is it conceivable that no weekly or monthly returns wets matte tea Downing-street of the amount of attendance given by the Commissioners of Stamps, either'as to the number of days, or the number of hours to avaii•day ? And if stieli returns were regularly and honestly made, how happens it . that the Board of Treasury did not, by a decisive and pe remptory interference long ago, enforce the discharge of • their duties by the individuals who have just been die-, missed, and snpersede the necessity of these voluminous reports, by gentlemen who ought al r e ad y to have had their timefullyertgaged with the business of their severe) Aires? The parties whose names were some weeks ago PublidlAvd in dna Journal, haVii, it is true, though r then tardily, Leo ajected from the Board of Stumps. But, it seems, they have retired- on pensions I Now, ie,not this a monstrous abuse of the public feeling in cases of akknowledged de linquency ?If these men were riot wrong-doers, why have they been turned out of office ? If they are really cUlpeMe, why have they been revearded by new inshiries, only differ 'mg in character from those :wbielohey formerly received, by being payments tot avowed idgin&is, instead of for idle pest that wus Winked ? Parliam e nt does its duty in en occurreiwe of this flagrant nature, it will not simply re,. &tie to e ~ onfirrn pensions granted as ericoUragetnetits to official guilt, but will, direct the Attorney-General to 'try. whether means may not be foetid ter compelling . those who carried off their 1,0001., per annum from the national Trees miry, without performing any one of the conditions on which that large Meow, had been given, to return the money data iniquitously abstracted from an overworked and i m poverished community ? That will be the duty . of ; otherwise the House of Commons makes it seW a party to this abominable system of defrauding the 4.*ltate, !wording •to which any worthless dependent en a Minister, or on the friend of a Minister, may commis ontiened depredations to a frightful mag»itude, absent hitrisOf fur years together, as one of these men did, from Ow scene of hue ostensible employment, and when the iiuia. t t to the country becomes too notorious, and the puh,le ditgoz too loud, sneak away in silence from the effect* 010 M; and be comforted with an elec . moaYmirY p ,lO /49 0 at the expence of those whose pockets he cur no longer pick in the regular form of pay. The pension-list, therefore, we take Toy granted, will not be suffered by Parlimaent to exhibit tha additional burden and disgrace of rewards to these ousted stamp Commis sioners. But there is on the subject of the Qemp-office another circumstance worthy, of graves; re g ar d.' pre,44tie whole of the evidence offered to tint Commission of In. . yuiry, it seemed obvious that two Counstisaiours would yftu r's end w the other... When ft was business, - rout one h p a ro v v e e a d rn t p h li at ssuel°titeoettdio more el e t c h u g t n e t e h v a r e t e r e y (._) C: c o a e m r e_ t i:: o x i t is ,es i i ; t‘e e y t s il; P i l oo t; :seven ever thought of attending of them the period of attendance did no! , _ t h at °them Hardly oune 411* tWO hours at the utmost oesr - the office at surely is not too mi+ to imy , per annam hetwe . ei t that two Commissioners with 2,b00/. the Stampsofhe'e • them, would have done the duties of more effectually and complete l y b y attending with Punetu ollity four hours each, than all the its help artful schemers, who were receiving amonget them 7 5 001 _ Y - e 4 tr, for bringing the Government into obloquy, and cheating the•publie - service. Here, then at the fortnation of a new tioard, was a fair opportunity of aecomplishing en economical, popular, and highly-useful reform. Five • lumbering COMiltilitiOnefli, entt 4,0001. per *mum, might. have beau directly saved to the'Exehequer, Yet, wbot has happened P The new Board—the reformed, corrected Board--,contains precisely the ,sume monitor of members as I the old One! Seven I instead of two; while the revenue is declining, the business: diminishing, and the distresses of the country more extensive, and more deeply rooted than ever. So that the effect of the late inquiry has been just this—to load the nation with the same tunount of sa laries as before, plus the pensions to the offending and dismissed Commissioners. On this point, likewise, we trust that the House of Commons will immediately acquit itself of those obligations, which were so solemnly and emphatically undertaken by candidates of all classes and parties (except the mere Court hack) in their late ad- dresses to the constituent body, the first of which never failed to be a pledge of " independence," and of attention to the "real interests" of the State. Such, also, should be the feeling with regard to all the public boards without exception, every one of which presents a picture of sala iies and members disproportiOned to the wants of the State, and cruel towards the necessities of the people.— Ibid. in trials at Com Mon Law, parties often suffer much from the necessity of having all their witnesses in that spot where the trial takes place at the precise time fixed on, end of having all their evidence, parole and written, gone through during the brief space which can be allotted for that purpose.. The Court of Chancery steers clear of this evil, and the principles on which it proceeds may be said to be more in accordance with the suggestions of com mon sense. But, unfortunately for suitors, such a lati tude has been given to the' principles of Thancery prac tice, that the evil resulting from the'endless admission of evidence is a thousand times greater than that of the de fective Common Law system. When the means of litiga tion exist in sufficient abundance, so ihat Counsellors may be feed, and affidavits supplied, as often as may be requi site, if one of the parties wishes to avoid a judgment, we do not well see how the time for delivering judgment can ever arrive. The principle on which the Lord Chancellor would seem to act is, that it' is never too late to receive fresh evidence, so that if he were to state a hundred times, " I shall ' deliver my judgment in ' this on a cer tain given day,," and regularly when that day came, a fresh affidavit should ibe. offered, containing additional particulars, the judgment must be postponed, till the ad ditional particulars have been discussed. A Chancery Judge puts one in mind of some of those indefatigable German Collectors of materials for history, who, striv ing to clear up every conceivable point, are overwhelmed with the mass of their :materials, and literally do nothing, There may be too much of a good thing. The system of the Court of Chancery would seem to be too perfect for this sublunary state. In the days of Methusalem, when fifty, or even a hundred years were hardly worth talking of, the Chancery practice—to use a homely phrase —would have been just the thing. Unfortunately, the great and learned Lord, who has brought it to the utmost conceivable perfection, has come somewhat too late into the world to be appreciated, as he certainly would have been in a better age than the present. Some regard must now be had to the shortened period of human life. A ease respecting the education of infants, may be decided on more perfect evidence after a litigation of thirty years than after one of thirty ' days ; but, it is somewhat too late to determine this matter when the infants may themselves be grandfathers and grandmothers. The case of Welles ley a. the Duke ;of Beaufort, which has drawn these observations from us, was yesterday to have been advanced a stage, with a view to a judgment this day. " Coming events east their shadows 'before," as Mr. O'Connell re marked after a sweat authority, and we imagined we saw the shadow of this day. The 'affidavit containing the im portant matter was not filed, and the Lord Chancellor ob served very naively, that "as it had beennot Meddle could not possibly hear it." " If, howeVer," added his Lord ship, " you do not file it between this and to-morrow morning (this morning), out of compassion to myself I must -rye the judgment." But his Lordship will, no doubt,' be relieved from the necessity of taking compassion on himself. Another will appear in doe tune, to take com passion on him.--Mr. Hurt observed, that " If Mr. Wellesley was to he thus baffled by • the skill ,01 Counsel (to use no harsher term), be might never hope to read the end of the cease. The system had been pertinaciously pursued, and some new affidavit was presented just at the moment his Lordship was on the point of giving judgment The affidavits sworn on the 25th of October had not been flipd till she 20th of November." We do not wish to interpose• between parties in any suit. We do not presume to say, for even if we were an thorised to give an opinion—which we are not—we know nothing of the particulars of the ease, that there is not good reason for postponing the filing of an affidavit, sworn the 2.5 th of October, till the 20th of November. But this wit will say, that in any, case similar to that of Mr. Wel leeley, whieb involves an inquiry into a man's life, it can never be difficult, especially if he should have been a tra veller, so to menage matters, as to have a succession of affidatits, embracing fresh matter, and matter tot 4 demand ing au answer, ready for presentation on the eve of a judg : meat, to its to prevent that judgment from ever being yen. He who waits till no more affidavits can be presented, may almost be compared to the peasant in Horace, who waited till the stream should rain itself out, We were not a little amused by the observation, in the subsequent case of the Highgate Charity, of Mr. Temple, who, on his Lordship sasful, " j think the parties can never do so ill for the Charity as to ptace it in my hands," very ingeniously answered, " I should bo most, happy to get it (At of your Lordship's hands, by receiving the jadgmerit of the Court. —Morning Chronicle. To the host of Pamphlets on the Corn Laws one has been added by Ea r l Stanhope, which, from the extrava gant nature of some of his Lordship's assertions, deserves A little notice. ,The Politioal geonOmists seem to have terribly frightened his Lordship.

" It is undoubtedly true, and the proposition ought at present to be re-erhoerl in a voice of thunder throughout the country, that the measure would ' ruin entirely all the nobility, and all the other landed proprietors,' and not there` alone, hut also the tenants and the labourers." But this is not all : we are threatened with the loss of the landholders altogether. • " The proprietors would be compelled to remove to other court trite where a residence is far less expensive than it is in this; and many of them, from finding it also much More agreeable, would be induced to settle permanently . abroad If a genoil ' transfer of property is to be etr pro prietors have a right to expect that due entice eethd ilitell fi he w la : j ive e a d , I that an Act of Parliament shall empowerto se the ll i o n 4 tint nature of their family settlements, tli is whatever eirt a t may , e be to invest their proceed* In other countries, in which it would be more secure than it had been under admiration of other, nations.'

That plant had been cultivated with great success in that coon try,.tind the other South American States, particularly the Prazils, were supplied by them ; but the non-intercourse System caused the Brazilians to cultivate that article of commerce, from necessity, and they have succeeded beyond their expectations. Anotlu vonlmodity which this State used to export in great quantities was tobacco , the pro duction of the province being very mild and aromatic, and held in superior estimation in South America. It cannot be immediately aafertained whether the retired President will continue to exercise an influence over the policy of his successor; but if this State be thrown open, like the other provinces of the Southern Peninsula, important results may follow, both as regards itself and other Republics of the New W Herald. It is expected that the Parliament will continue to sit until within three or four days of Christmas, when it will adjourn, until the 19th or 20th of February. A cure, as astonishing, perhaps, as any ever affected by medical skill, was last week performed by electricity, at Read ing, on a youth named Lull', aged 17, who, at a year and a half old, lost the sight of one eye, to restore which Numerous inef fectual attempts had been made. After two or three applica tions of electric fluid, by Mr. Strachan, the sight has been per fectly restored. THE TOR HlLL.—fillere are few eras in the corn pass of English Hi s tory, wore abundant in the alternate predomi nance of reason and superstition, gaiety and gloom, or, in a word, in all the materials.coveted by the Romanco-writer, than the reign of the Eighth Henry. This truth Is ably illustrated by the writer of the Tor Hill, who has just given another proof of that talent in the living presentment of character which has secured to his Brambletye House, such extensive popularity. After giving a delineation of Baronial manners, and a picture of religious seclu sion in England, as manifested in Glastonbury Abbey, just before the Reformation, the Novelist changes the seen. to London, and we are presented with Sketches of " Life " of various kinds, from the idle Apprentices of Cheapside, the skulking Vagabonds and singular Characters lurking in the sanctuary of Westminster, the 'fishionage Roysterers, and the Debanehees of the Court—to Car dinal Wolsey, the ill-starred Queen Catherine, 'and Henry the Eighth himself, and his Mistresses. The invented Agents of the Plot are also strongly coloured, and are worthy of companionship with the historical, pe r sonages. UNIVERSITY ()V GLASGOW.—The election of the Lord Rector was alike creditable to the students, and honourable to our illustrious townsman, Thomas Campbell, Esq. the poet.— Never was there such a contested election , within the walls of our ancient University ! Never was genius so eminently successful against power, wealth, interest, influence, and political party ! The poet of freedom was elected by the unanimous voice of the four nations! The Natio Glottiana„may well be proud. of this e leezion—it does honour to native merit—it reflects honour op the City, and University of Glasgow—and it will be a *venial tri umph to the friends of freedom throughout the country, The in terest and the wishes, of the professors were all in favour of Sir Thomas Brisbane, a man eminent for science and intelligence ; and great exertions were made by his partizans. The whole influence of the Tory party, unconnected with the professors, was enlisted in favour of Mr. Canning, and strenuous efforts were exerted in his behalf. The true feelings of independence and liberty, how ever, excited in the,minds of the Glasgow students by the sweet strains of their native poet, and by the recollections of his gigantic undertaking—the foundation of a London University—in con junction with the late Lord Rector, Mr. Brougbaw, have carried the day against a host of oPponents.-7 Glasgow Chronicle. COURT OF SEssum—Tuesday the Court of Session met for the Winter Session. In the First Divi'sion, George Cran stOun, Esq. formerly Dean of Faeulty, produced his . Majesty's Commission appointing him one of the Judges of the Court, in the room of Lord Hermand, resigned. Mr. Cranstoun having been . . complimented by the Lord President, the Commission was ap pointed to be recorded, the new Judge took the usual oaths of office, and he was ordained to his probation. lu the Second Division, the Lord Justice Clerk, addressing himself both to the bench and ths bar, observed that his venerable and touch-esteemed colleague ;Lard Rohartson, had long had it under his consideration whether on account of his bodily infirmities he should resign his office, or.yield to the desire he had (4..diecluirgiug, his duties, so long as he conhi.do actestiefactorily to the publie ; hot, at length, he had found it necessary to adopt the former alternative. His Lordship pronounced au eloquent eulogiune upon the retired Judge, in which he referred to his profound knowledge, his sound and discriminate ju,dgtoent, and the amenity of his manners.— Neither of the, Divisions entered upon any of the ordinary Court business..--Edinburgh Evening Courant. SHOCKDIG ACCIDENT.—Mr. Shufliebotham's hat manufactory, in the Holborn, Newcastle, was the scene of a fright ful accident on Wednesday last. In the afternoon of that day, a young man, Edward Harrison; who is about 20 years of age, was following his branch of work, that of colouring hate, during which process he had to dip them in a large kettle of boiling liquor. A. crate was across the month of the kettle, upon which the hats were put to drain for a few moments after having been taken out of the dye; Harrison, for some reason or other not properly known, got up on the side of the kettle, and in a kneeling posture began to take' out the hats with one hand and supported himself by taking hold at the'grate with the other. Whilst in this situa• tion, the crate gave way, and the unfortunate young man Instantly fell up to the neck in the boiling liquid. His piercing cries pro cured immediate help; and he was got out, but to t condition too wretched to be described. Medical aid was instantly procured, but the injury was too greet to be removed by human means, and the poor sufferer expired after lingering in extreme pain between three and four hours.—Staffordshire Gazette. HORRID IVluttmot.—lt is our painful duty to re cord a murder of peculiar atrocity,, perpetrated on Sunday last, in the towilland of Curirala, about two miler front this town. Ow ing to some misunderstanding between persons of the name of Walton and Thinly MiGoivan, the deceased, it was agreed that the matter at issue should be determined by a boxing match, in which one of the Walton* and M'Clowan were to act 'as cow batante. On the morning above mentioned, M'Gowan left, his master's at all early hour, to repair to the scene of action. Short ly after the master was apprised of the circumstance, and with the most praiseworthy resolution proceeded to the place appointed, to prevent the transaetion. On arriving at the spot, he found the Walton and their friends awaiting the arrival of 111‘Clowan, who, with several persons attached to his interest, shortly after made his appearance. His master instantly Made towards him, and, seizing him by the collar, advised loin to desist. Whilst thus engaged, Henry Walton came up awl struck him so forcibly with a stone which he held in his band, as to fracture his skull., Iligilmian fell, and on getting up ran to his home, but did not effect his escape till Henry Francis, and Robert Walton, and Ed ward Farrell, severally, assailed hint with clubs and stones. *Gowan wlin wag, yoting and athletic, lingered till Tuesday morning, when death.Mrininated lds miseries.

A w c:s i_ e • loo o k f i 7 in ui pp ie r r sot c:tarecter occupied the bench of magistrates at Brighton for several hours on Thursday. A young named Davey, respectably connected, and whose mother and brother reside at Coslaam, in Hants, was charged with having discharged a pistol at Mary Ann Hartwell, with an intent to destroy her, but which had done' her no cor poreal injury. It happened, that he had paid his addresses to the young woman; arid with the consent of her father and herself, the day had been fixed for them to become man anti wife. Mary however, t A ra n c n t , ;andher wavering in her choice; refused to fulfil the con itolveeld r3triewr,ought to a pitch of desperation, in lieu, of leading her, a s to the church, on Tuesday last, visited her at her residence, a rm ed with a braceof pistols.

GUILDHALL—A bulking young fellow, a chimney-sweeper, named (jeorge Bennett, was brought before Sir PETER LAURIE yesterday, charged with a daring theft. Mr. Romanis, the hosier in Cheapside,, appeared as the prosecu tor. The prisoner had been oblerved between seven and eight o'clock on Saturday evening hovering round the shop-window, and at last he snatched down a pair of worsted stockings, and started off with them. The prisoner, who made no defence, was committed for trial. BOW-STREET.—Yeaterday Mr. Slarelq, a gentleman re- 41,•••.. •• ••-• - siding iu Thins -place, chelsea,was brought before Mr. Mtustic LL, on an assault warrant, charged with having threatened and as saulted his next-door neighbour, Captain John Wakeman Long, with whom it appeared he was, until lately, on terms of intimacy. Mr. Staveley was ordered to enter into his own recognizance to keep the peace towards. Capt. Long, in the, sum of 1001., and to find two securities, in 501.. each. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Thomas Bonday, as rude a bit of nautical flesh as ever " spliced the main brace," accom panied by as interesting female named Mar* Nightingale, was brought up from St. James's watehhouse, upon a charge of hav ing created a riot in the Haymarket on Saturday night last. Mr. Rox ordered Bosulay to pay 0.. for being. drunk. A young girl, named Emery, was brought up on the com plaint of her mother with keeping bad company, coming home at late hours, and making use . of vile. ezpressions, to the ,great injury of the morals of complainant's two younger children. The Magistrate dismissed the case. MARYLEBONE-OFFICE.—Since the last examination of Samuel Oakinghasn, Isaac Hunt, Mary Ann Hance, and Mary Ann Paye, who stand charged with the robbery near Brentferd, the magistrates of this office sent Gibbs, an officer, down to that . neighbourhood, to make more particular inquiry respecting the circumstances attending it, and yesterday he gave them a statement of his success to the following effect;—The person said to be robbed, and whose disappearance afterward, was so extraordinary, is well known to many stable 7 keepers and pub licans' servants on the western roads; for season after. season.he has been in the practice of taking hunters down to meet the Berke ley fox-hounds. On the morning of the robbery, the members of the Berkeley hunt met fur the first time this season at Cranford bridge, and on that occasion he took a bunter down to that place, from whence he commenced his return to London as usual on foot. He was at the Feathers public-house, in Brentford, at 11 o'clock, and was then tipsy ; he afterwaeds went to Colonel Quentiti's, in Kew-green, to see that gentleman's coachman, with whom he was acquainted. It is not doubted in the neighbour hood that the man waif robbed, and very much illtreated ; but it is not believed that he lost so much as tiO sovereigns. The prisoners were remanded until Wednesday, and a warrant was sent down to Brentford to secure Mr. Walker's attendance to give evidence on that day. Philip Staninalaus,. Esq., an aged foreigner, who resides at No. 18, New-street, Dorset-square, entered the office in consider able agitation; he said a large piece of bone which be pro duced, bad been fired through hie window while his family were at breakfast, and he could in no way account for the circumstance. Mr. Hewitt, the chief officer, immediately acconTanied Mr. Stanislaw, to his house, and soon. returned with one of the offend ing parties in custody, a boy about 14 years of age, and another boy about 11 years old, as a witness . against him. It appeared that these lads had converted a marrow-bone into what they called a cannon; ,they fowled it with a pennyworth of gunpowder and two marbles ; the piece burst upon the first fire, and the fragments had ,broken.two aqoares of glass in the house of Mr. Stanislaus, and So dreadfully "lamed, his family. Mr. Raintsmott thought it best to compel the boys. to pay for the windows, but Mr. Stanislaus interceded ; he said he did not regard the expense, and was glad :they were not themselves injured. UNION-HALL.—DtsTarsstwo CANIS OF PovitaTT.---Yester day, after the night charges were gone through, a respectable looking individual, who gave his name James Birmingham, was brought before the sitting Magistrate, R.. 1. CliA MBEMS, Esq., charged with having taken two pitintings, in gilt framer, from the parlour of Mr. Peake, landlord of the Mortar public-house, in the London-road. The unfortunate mac, who, it appears, formerly moved in a respectable sphere of life, on being placed at the bir, evinced considerable perturbation at his unhappy situation. Mr. Peake, shortly stated the facts. He said that about 11 o'clock that day the person at the bar entered his house, and walked into the parlour, which had no company in it at the time. Soon afterwards he was observed to leave the house with some thing wrapped up in his handkerchief. Information was giveu.to, the landlord, who immediately followed the stranger, and cams pp with hint at a short distance trout the door, and iu I is possession the pictures in question were found. .Mr. Peake added, that on . detection, the individual in custody exhibited great agitation, very unlikepledging,inettht t(pahautn t eib h ipyelp a a t of a man hardened in crime, begging for niercy, and declaring that he was driven to the act in consequence of the bu hi th absolute want of the necessaries of life. Mr. CHANtliißg humatiely observed that the complainant vos not bound to prosecute. He then suggested the plitzt of proceid itg to the poor man's lodginge, anti learning the ' truth or falae hood of his statement. Mr. Peake, aecompanied by a genNleman, then left the dice for that purpose. In the interim, the' folloWing questions were put to the accused : Mr. Cnastutas having expressed deep ommiseration for the sittation in which he stood, asked him what profession or huai. seas he followed. The pceesed said, that at present he was deetitute tiny eta - ployment ; hi had been a merchant in Liverpool, but in . copse quence of failure was reduced to great poverty, and in the expec tation of bettering his condition, he came up to London, but un fortunately was unsuccessful.

Mr. Peaks, the landlord of th e M or t ar , an d t h e gent l eman wee accompanied him to the wretched, abode .of the accused, now returned, and stated, that that individual had not at all eiagge rated the facto of his poverty and want. On preceetliog to his lodging, No. 3, Burton's-buildings, Fryer-street, . Blackfriars road, they. were shown into a room, up two pair of stairs, in which they found his wife, the very, picture of poverty, and dis tress. On questioning her with respect to her husband (the ac cused), she said, that neither of them had had victuals for the last three days, and that lie left hOme,that morning in a state bor dering on despair, taking with him a pair of light trousers, which Ire intended to pledge to raise a little money , open. Mr. Peake said, that the poor creature appeared destitute even of necessary clothing, and she sat in a room, without a particle of firing during this inclement season. She was much alarmed on their entrance, evidently apprehensive that something dreadful had befallen her husband, and repeatedly besought them to tell her the worst.— Mr. Peake added, that the sight of so much misery was appalling they concealed from , the poor womin the fact* of her husband be ing in custody, and having then an opportunity of relieving a person really in the depth of poverty, Mr. Peake added that be and the gentleman who accompanied b ins to i e the Shale or o m n is l e u r c y h , afforded her. that immediate relief whirls s need of, and they then departed.

It is well known that a Court of Inquiry has been for some time past sitting in this distinguished regiment, in order to decide' on the truth or falsehood of an imputation made upon Lord William Lennox, a Captain in the corps, of having been the author of a series of offensive persona lities against the Earl of Glengall, which have appeared is the Age, Sunday paper. A. second subject of the investi gation appears to have been, whether the Noble Officer in Auestion did at any time, while on duty with his regiment, submit his conduct to be canvassed by any person or set of persons whatever; a circumstance which, we presume , would involve a point of military etiquette. The Court, which is understood to have been. originally convened at the instance of Lord William Rffiself (who, .as will be seen, manifested throughout the business the strongest desire that the whole of his conduct connected with the transaction should be fully investigated), liat more than once. The Noble Earl alluded to acceded to A request made him to attend and give his testimony before it, as did also several other gentlemen connected more or less with the proceedings ; and after the fullest and most patient investigation, the Court returned their written opi nion to their Colonel, the Duke of Wellington, who has since expressed his full concurrence in, and satisfaction at, the conclusion to which it has come—a conclusion, we are glad to find, as completely exculpatory of the honour of the Noble Lord whose Conduct was the subject of investiga tion, as the manner in which the whole inquiry.has been conducted, and its result must have been gratifying V) his feelings. Military etiquette will of : course prevent the of ficial promulgation of the proceedings of a Court of In quiry of this description; but the :substance of them We are enabled to ley before the public, and the correctness of the-account may be depended on. Its report is to the following effect r.—that " the Court having the statement of Lord William Lennox, and the evidence given by the Earl of Glengall and other Gentlemen pre-. are of sent at meetings held in London on the subject, opinion that there is no ground whatever fore he repO l l which has beep in circulation; and that it apt o ars to . the . duly considered Court that Lord William Lennox has, .throug act.° with judgment and candour; that he has shewn everY clination to have his conduct thoroughly .examined; 11 oTth w e ei c g as hi e l , g th far e t C he o r u a rt il 'a t r l e that he has,:afforded every facility to the toreetigliti"."; William's statement has not been contradicted) 5 ., 11 t h no reason whatever exists for supposing that his 1 -°,r either ever has written for, or been at all CODltectea with The Age newspaper." • Ina Lei " With respect to the question of Lord William having submitted his conduct to be scrutinised by cert'.',. n duty wile. gentlemen, at the tune ha was. engaged in doing his regiment in London the Court are of op i n ion that cf, fielviaidileynocfe 6panintlionci,rounst 'ince tain meeting* which did take place , were not considereel Lord William Lennox to be held for the purpose o f investigation, but in order to promote an e xpl t ir t t .d e llbrdi f t misunderstanding which existed between the EV i ° l * d G iien l itl e . n riyo ga usa l t l ta ' ai an ip l rod hi rrim m eo s st e e l h f iaa ; vn b ey n is t nuqb t i l mi l i a ri t )t,: L ebd o y n t l aon 7 ya i mi l i l t i eal a . m 7ise e : : e t i l rni u iche :, htu i i :: regiment: . might think proper to institute, in order to- - t+ his character from a charge so prejudicial to his br'n °g an officer. and a gentleman.
